    Get a piece of 1" thick plywood board. £8
    (it's much better to work on wood - these white, plastic coated desks just make your arms sweat and stick to them in the summer heat).

    Get a tin of matt varnish. £7 ish
    Get a tin of white gloss. £7 ish.
    Get some 28" hair-pin leg, If you need a lot of desks get them made at a metal fabrication company. If for 1 or 2 desks, get them of USA ebay. Should be around £20 for a set of 4. + postage and custom/vat duty. For example:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/4-VTG-MID-CE…

    Then sand wood top + sides, varnish. Paint edges white. Screw legs on.

    You'll then have an awesome desk to be proud of that is relatively cheap. it's also easy to unscrew the legs and store.
